Can mobile eye scans in villages prevent blindness in older adults?

This trial tests whether a community-based screening program using advanced eye imaging (OCT, fundus photography, and pressure checks) can prevent vision loss from age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma better than simple vision tests alone. About 60,000 adults aged 60 and older in Nepal will be screened, and their vision will be compared nine years later. The goal is to see if early detection and referral to eye hospitals can reduce avoidable blindness at the population level.
